About
Cortez Clam Factory sits in the heart of Bradenton's historic Cortez fishing village, where the catch comes straight from local waters. The menu centers on fresh Gulf seafood like grouper, shrimp, lobster, clams, and oysters, alongside house-smoked barbecue and in-house cured bacon. Each day brings a different special: tacos on Monday, chipotle grouper on Tuesday, Maine lobster on Wednesday, and so on through the week. The kitchen also runs a rotating selection of chef's dishes and nightly specials. Live music plays Thursday through Sunday afternoons. The expanded outdoor patio has fire pits and cornhole, making it a gathering spot for the neighborhood and visitors alike.
